Using property in regexp mapper

["Hagen, Christian" <ch...@init-ka.de>]

Hi,

I have the following problem (ANT 1.6.0, Windows 2000) with copy using a
mapper:

I have a property file, which is loaded first:

prod.A.target = targetA
prod.B.target = targetB
prod.C.target = targetC


The copying should do the following:

src/prod/A/config/configA.xml  -->
target/${prod.A.target}/config/configA.xml
src/prod/B/config/configB.xml  -->
target/${prod.B.target}/config/configB.xml


I tried to copy it with a mapper:

<copy preservelastmodified="true" verbose="true" todir="target">
  <fileset dir="src"/>
  <mapper type="regexp" from="prod/(.*)/config/(.*)"
to="${prod.\1.target}/config/\2"/>
</copy>


It does not work telling me: "Property ${prod.\1.target} has not been
set".

Does this mean the property is resolved before inserting the regexp
group?
Does anybody know another way to do the copying?



Thanks in advance.

Chris

Yes.

Try using some of the custom tasks provided by
ant-contrib; probably <for> and <propertycopy> or
<propertyregex>.
